ABSTRACT:
The vacuum-heat processing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a vacuum container forming a vacuum chamber; a hopper into which an object to be processed and a processing liquid adjusted to a first temperature are thrown, the hopper being arranged above and communicating with an intake port formed in an upper end portion of the vacuum container; a sealing member arranged between the hopper and the intake port of the vacuum container to keep the vacuum chamber airtight; a transport conveyor installed in the vacuum chamber below the intake port to receive at one end side thereof the object flowing down the hopper from the intake port through the sealing member and carry it to the other end side; a processing liquid showering nozzles installed in the vacuum chamber immediately above the transport conveyor to shower a processing liquid adjusted to a second temperature over the object on the transport conveyor; and a processing liquid tank containing a processing liquid adjusted to a third temperature and installed in the vacuum chamber immediately below the transport conveyor to receive the object dropped from the transport conveyor.
